ITT intention to treat, IV intravenous, TEMSO TEriflunomide Multiple Sclerosis Oral

aRelative change: a positive number indicates more patients free from relapse compared with placebo

bIncomplete neurological recovery, defined by an increase in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or Functional system (FS) 30 days post relapse

cIncomplete neurological recovery, as assessed by the investigator at the end of relapse

dMissing data regarding intravenous (IV) corticosteroid use was reported in 12.6 % of relapses
